Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Rory Underwood's
    Rugby legend and ex-RAF pilot Rory Underwood’s top tips on how to get your civilian career off to a flying start By Laura Joint for Equipped Magazine England’s record try scorer Rory Underwood MBE is a perfect example of how it’s possible to achieve success at the highest level in completely different environments. The former Leicester, Bedford, England and British & Irish Lions winger was an RAF pilot throughout his rugby years and successfully adapted his skills – such as teamwork and decision-making – so that they were equally effective whether on a rugby field or in an RAF jet. Rory has now transferred his skills to business, as boss of his performance consultancy firm, Wingman, based in Grantham. So he’s well placed when it comes to offering guidance on how to use and build your skillset, whatever the arena. The arena most of us associate Rory with, of course, is Twickenham. His 85 England caps spanned 12 years from 1984-1996. His debut, as a 20-year-old against Ireland, came only a year after his first game for Leicester – a club he was to play for until 1997. His international career also included all six British & Irish Lions Tests in the two tours to Australia and New Zealand in 1989 and 1993. In his 85 appearances for England he scored 49 tries – an England record that’s unlikely to be broken soon, if ever: “I can’t see it being broken in the near future,” Rory told Equipped. “There’s nobody currently playing who is anywhere near even second place in the list (Will Greenwood and Ben Cohen share second spot with 31 tries).

  • The Hunts Herald
    Edition 9 Spring 2015 The Hunts Herald News about the Huntingdonshire County Cricket Club Farewell Fox It is with great sadness that we say farewell to our longstanding and highly successful team manager, coach, guide and mentor Hedley Swannell (aka The Fox). After running the Senior, Development and U19 sides for many years Hedley has decided that enough is enough, and stepped down. Over the years we have enjoyed many successes, particularly with the Under 25s (Development). The U25 competition started in 2000 and Hedley was in charge of that age group from then, winning the trophy for the first time in 2003 and again in 2010, 2012 and 2013. Hunts are the only County to have won the trophy back to back and four times in its 15 years history, a record equal with with Lincolnshire. He has been in sole control of all three County sides since 2011, but his involvement with Huntingdonshire cricket exceeds 20 years. Thank you Hedley (and his wife Jane, and son Paul) for all the time and effort that they have put in to Huntingdonshire cricket. Welcome to the Future With the Fox departing, the Huntingdonshire County Cricket Club have been faced with a dilemma. How do we find someone to do all the work that Hedley did? Well, the answer was, we didn’t. We have appointed three managers, one for each team. At the same time we have decided to follow the example of the youth teams, where each side has a manager and a coach. We would like to welcome the following to the ranks of the HCCC committee: Senior Team - Manager: Kevin Clement Coach: Nick Andrews Under 25 - Manager: Russell Marsh Coach: Dave Summers Under 21 - Manager: John Wells Coach: Michael Kay More about these fine fellows on page 2.
